We object because of the impact the high density housing would have on the surrounding area

Bishopbriggs traffic problems would worsen, particularly where the Meadowburn and Balmuildy areas connect to Kirkintilloch Road. 73% of people in the area commute by car, demonstrated by queues at rush hour (Scottish transport statistics 2015).

Commuter traffic would increase pollution levels on Kirkintilloch Road – already a pollution hotspot and an ‘air quality management area’, affecting the health of residents in the area and particularly children walking to school.

4-storey blocks of flats and 3-storey townhouses could impact on your privacy and reduce sunlight into your home.

The minimal spacing between three-storey townhouses at the Cadder end of the site will create a wall of housing behind existing properties on Cander Rigg.

Loss of public greenspace, including the loss of a recreational space – the free football pitch.
